Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on purchasing a car through a monthly lease that ends in ownership, which is currently widespread among car dealers?
Answer:
This sale has not yet been the subject of a fatwa; it is currently before the Council of Senior Scholars for review. If a fatwa is issued regarding it, it will be published, if Allah wills. However, we advise leaving this matter alone, as it is a doubtful matter. We advise abandoning this transaction and purchasing the car outright in a manner free from doubt.
